I'm not sure who was really in charge of the campaign, because he seemed to fire and replace and rehire and refire campaign personnel on a daily basis. But someone in his camp is a genius because they were able to get him elected, flaws and all.

But to go back to my example in my previous comment, that would imply that Madoff was some astute businessman because he was able to acquire a lot of wealth. No, he was a good liar and tricked people.
As another totally random fun example of winning not being a correlation with being the best:

And while that person got caught, it goes to show that you can bend rules to make yourself look like the winner when not being the best or even good at what you do.
